River Dart Paddling Day 2

The Adventure Bac students headed back out to the River Dart for a second day of Whitewater paddling.  Today they started at Holme Bridge and paddled down to Buckfastleigh.  This section of the river is slightly more technical than Tuesdays, with slightly larger rapids and a few drops.  Their paddling skills  and confidence in a kayak have improved greatly over the last two sessions.

River Dart Paddling

The Adventure Bac students headed out onto the River Dart today with Mr Agnew for their first day of Whitewater Kayaking. The section from Buckfastleigh to Staverton contains a few rapids which are ideal for learning on. Although some of the students had a number of swims, they all had a good day and showed improvement.

Mountain Biking

Today we took some students up to Haldon Forest for Mountain biking.  We started on the family trail to get ourselves warmed up, before testing our skills on the larger of the two skill circuits, then finally heading out on to the blue trail.  The trails where extremely wet and muddy due to the recent rain fall, everyone got completly soaked and very muddy but enjoyed it.

Ten Tors Training 2

Out on Daretmoor again with 3 teams training for the Ten Tors event. The weather was great today but there was plenty of mud underfoot.. About 20km covered today and a number of Tors were walked over in the process.

Climbing at Sheeps Tor

For sixth form climbing we decided to make use of the sunny weather and head to sheeps tor for the afternoon.  Some of the group top roped and bouldered whilst others developed their leading skills.
